A CLIENT-BASED APPROACH

"I believe in a measured, client-based approach to my practice. When I work with my clients, I present all the options on the table. Then, my counsel is always reflective of what the client values and ultimately, what they need. My priority is to consider what action and outcome will serve them best."

WHAT SETS GEOFF APART

"I believe a good and lasting law practice isn't run by ego. I don't have to litigate or end up in court. I want to know what the client wants to get out of their case, explain the options and do what's best for them. That's how the file will be run."

THE BEST PART OF THE JOB

"Simply put: getting a good result for my client. If I generate a good result AND my client walks away happy, that's a win for me."

ACTIVE WITHIN THE COMMUNITY

While in law school Geoff volunteered at the University of Western Ontario community legal aid clinic, assisting with employment law matters and small claims court matters.
